“Rachel was awesome. She took care of our cay for 4 days and while kitty was upset with us for leaving, she had been pampered. She got some great photos.?fm The house was kept secure and kitty happy. On top of that she checked the mail and garbage. We would call on her again. Thank you Rachel”
“Meg is great. She came over to meet the boys prior to scheduled drop ins and listened to me ramble on about the last minute trip that had me suddenly in need of care. Seeing my cats emerge from their hiding places to examine her put my anxiety at ease and I really appreciated the extra time she invested in a meet and greet. Meg posted daily updates with photos that made me smile as I could see my cats were doing well and the house, still standing. If you're looking for someone with good energy to come into your home, it's Meg. Thanks Meg! Sending you cat blinks from Hercules and Yesterday!”
About: Living in Stanford, my Jack Russell, Chuy, and I love taking full advantage of the local parks for daily runs and outdoor fun! At my home, your pup will enjoy complete freedom—whether that means diving into a giant basket of toys or curling up for a relaxing nap on the sofa or a plush dog bed. Having grown up around animals, caring for pets is second nature to me. I treat every guest like family, ensuring a safe, fun, and comfortable environment tailored to your dog’s unique personality. Feel free to reach out with any questions—Chuy and I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved pup! I'm currently on a sabbatical and so I have a lot of free time to take care of your pets, go on long walks or house sit. My current apartment has a fenced in yard with parks near by for long walks or runs. Pets are also allowed to to go on the couch for cuddles.
“We have hired many sitters from Rover over the years but Allison was absolutely the best! Wow! Our cat loved her so much, she sent fun photos every day, and kept us updated on how things were going at home. Highly recommend!!”
About: I am a big animal loving person and I like to spend time outside and I would love to take your pets on walks to help them release energy and spend time with them! I am a soccer player for a college and I am also a college student. It is hard to find ways to make more money but when I heard about this I thought it was perfect because I love animals and what better way to make money if you love to spend time with animals! I care for the pets the way that the owner will want me to, every owner is different so I want to keep that consistent to not confused the pets. On the other hand, my own pets are very spoiled and loved. They are trained but they know they are very spoiled and are treated very good. They are living their best life!
About: I have taken care of cats for 40 plus years. I have volunteered at animal shelters. I can taken care of multiple cats at a time. I am currently working part time and have flexibility in my schedule. I have a reliable car. I am organized and responsible. I also have flexibility on weekends and holidays. I am trustworthy and a great communicator. A responsible, reliable, respectful, and honest person. I pride myself as a great problem solver. I value privacy and accountability. I am an experienced cat sitter with over 40 years of experience. I have had 9 cats throughout my years. I am a huge cat lover and I understand how important it is for them to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I know how to adapt my approach to each cat’s unique personality and needs. I have much admiration for the independent nature of cats, their subtle body language, and their sweet and loving gestures.
“Josie(Ka) was really easy to communicate and kind to take care of our indoor cat and outdoor cat. She not only just did the regular routine but tried to play with our cat with his favorite treat catching game. We can see our cat got along with Josie after a few visits and started anticipating Josie’s visit. We will definitely book again with Josie next time.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have years of professional pet care experience, including completing more than 400 dog walks, and I’ve cared for dogs of all different ages, sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’m also a yoga and Pilates instructor, so staying active is a big part of my everyday life. I’m happy to take an energetic pup on a long, active walk, but I’m just as comfortable slowing things down for a senior dog or a pup who prefers to stop and sniff every few feet! Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every animal with patience, affection, and attention to their individual needs. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, playtime, or simply someone dependable to keep them company, my goal is for them to feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I truly love animals and would be delighted to get to know yours! 🐾
“Guilherme was great with our two cats, one of which needed daily liquid medication. We got prompt and frequent updates and pictures throughout the visits. Would easily recommend!”

About: My name is Abby. I am 18 years old and grew up in a small town called Lynden. I am currently attending Olympic college to later Pursue a career in Obstetrics(care for tiny humans). I play collegiate softball at Olympic College and have learned so much from my team. Understanding perseverance and discipline is huge in supporting the teammates you have around you. Back home my sister and I cared for a litter of 6 puppies from a rescue Shitzu. Caring for these puppies was an amazing experience to understand that proper care for a dog starts at birth. There relationships begin to develops with those around them by interactions and reoccurring events in there lives. I hope to provide your dog with the care that they deserve. I am currently a student getting my degree in Respiratory Care, as well as a former collegiate athlete. As a lover of animals what better way to help others give their pets the attention they need and keep myself active. My cat Ramen gets lots of pets, cuddles, and treats. We also love to bring her things from outside so she can be stimulated by new scents and let her out on the back patio to soak up the sun and chirp with the birds. I would care for your pet with the same attentive care I do my own cat.
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs thanks to my dad, who is a veterinarian and ran his own animal hospital in Europe. From a young age I loved helping out at the clinic, learning how to care for animals and building a natural connection with dogs of all kinds. I am now moving to Stanford to study a master’s in medicine, and I really miss having dogs around. Spending time with them has always been something that makes me happy, so I would love to take care of your dog and give them the same love and attention I would give my own 🐶 I am friendly, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s needs. También hablo español! My schedule can vary day to day, but I do my best to stay flexible. Feel free to check my calendar and send me a message to confirm availability. I will be based in Stanford starting mid-September! When I care for your pet in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after in their own environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of exercise, and time for play and companionship, not just quick visits. If your dog needs medication or any special care, I’m attentive and careful to follow directions closely. I also keep their space clean and make sure they’re relaxed and settled while you’re away. I love keeping you updated, I’ll send photos, videos, and even little collages of our walks so you can see where we’ve been and how many miles we covered. Looking forward to meeting your dog 🐶
About: Firm yet loving care for all dogs, specializing in puppy training, high energy, hiking/running, and managing complex medical needs like seizures, food sensitivities, and limited mobility. Currently working from home with flexible time which allows me to integrate training, walks, play time, and medical monitoring throughout the day, while weekends are dedicated to long runs/walks and trail hikes. My approach to pet care is rooted in structure, trust, and genuine affection. My services will be tailored to each dog's needs indoors or outdoors.
About: I recently lost my nearly 9-year-old German Shepherd who I raised since he was 8 weeks old. I loved him so much and am happy I was able to give him a great life. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters, so naturally I love animals! (They tend to like me too.) I am comfortable with any size dog, both large and small, and can administer pet medications or help with any dietary needs. I am lucky enough to be able to work primarily from home, which allows me time to prepare meals and exercise my dog every day. Taking care of pets is part of my everyday life. I live in a townhome near several parks, and my community has a dedicated pet relief area. I generally don't crate my dog unless he chooses to go in it on his own. I of course have no problem crating your dog or following any instructions you provide.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Stanford
Jenna did an amazing job taking care of our cat Maddy for two weeks while we were away. Everything went super smoothly, and she was great with our shy cat, who warmed up to her very quickly. Jenna was very communicative, always on time, and sent us plenty of messages and photos. We would definitely have her back to take care of Maddy again. Thanks for everything Jenna!
Jess is awesome! Incredibly attentive, responsive and caring. My kitty is older and needs lots of affection- he didn’t even seem to notice I was gone with Jess coming to care for him. I cannot recommend her highly enough!! Thank you Jess for being such a wonderful cat sitter for Carl!
Savanna was once again very responsive and wonderful to work with. She is a great communicator and problem solver. It was so great of her to take care of ants that threatened my cat’s food access while I was away. I’m so grateful to have had someone trusted like Savanna look after Maxine.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
